Barry Jackson Sports Buzz-emphasis on no huddle, etc.

SUNDAY BUZZ COLUMNChatter on the Dolphins’ and Hurricanes’ offenses:### Whether the Dolphins’ no-huddle attack will boost their 22nd-ranked offense will be an interesting 2012 storyline. Dolphins players and coaches seem increasingly confident it will.“This will definitely wear defenses down,” linebacker Karlos Dansbyinsists. “The tempo, the scheme, how they attack the defense, I’m impressed. We’ve got the most complex offense I’ve ever seen.”Tight end Charles Clay expects Miami to use no-huddle all the time, as offensive coordinator MikeSherman did last year when he coached Texas A&M. But coach Joe Philbin said, “I’m not saying we’re going to be no-huddle every single play.”### The Dolphins want their no-huddle to be a hurry-up at times but not always, tight end Anthony Fasano tells us. Playing for Sherman at Texas A&M, Ryan Tannehill often stood at the line and took his time before taking the snap.“Last year, we were having trouble getting the ball snapped before the end of the [45-second] play clock," center Mike Pouncey said. "This year, we're trying to snap it at 24 seconds."Reggie Bush noted, “The offense is perfect for guys like me because we can use our speed and have them chase us around all day. And guard Richie Incognito vows "defenses will be back on their heels and will be winded." ### Besides tiring out defenders and helping the Dolphins from a conditioning standpoint, there are other advantages to the Dolphins' up-tempo pace, provided they execute their offense efficiently (and that's a big if)."We feel like the more plays run, the more opportunities you have to score points," Philbin said. Plus, "you've got to believe with all of that time you invest doing the no-huddle that your two-minute offense should hopefully not create such anxiety in the players because they're kind of used to it."

I just don't wanna see a bunch of 40 second 3 and outs!!! It all comes down to execution, so if the blocking is there and the QB makes quick decisions, we should be fine. It will definitely wear down teams and not allow for substitutions or adjustments. Hopefully we can beat the Patriots at their own game.

You've got to be excited by what is being written about practice and the new system.

I feel we're just one special player away from going to a whole new level. Someone talismanic who gives the players that feeling that they deserve to be considered contenders. We might get it from Clay, Miller, Jones, Vernon or one of the emerging WRs. But I suspect we don't have him on the roster.

Still, I think we're going to be in with a shout for a playoff spot and that's a good platform to build from.

when it was written the other day about "offense owns defense on day 1", i thought it had to be a typo.

i searched the 'ol memory banks to think of when the last time i had heard that from a finz offense and i soon realized it had to have been in the golden age of marino. back when all we had for info was meeting the mail man/chick at the box hoping to god the DOLPHIN DIGEST came!!

i have been screaming for the WCO here in miami for years now as it is STILL the most dominant offensive system in the game.

Then again... Every great player is discovered somehow. Let's hope one of them rises to the occasion and takes advantage of the opportunity.

It takes discipline to not formulate opinions about something WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THE FACTS.
